We have been blessed...

Yet again! Who knew it'd be possible?

We are currently in route to Wisconsin to pick-up our new (to us) minivan! We are beyond thrilled to have found a reliable vehichle for our family.

It's my grandparents' and they were selling it. My grandpa knows cars. He use to be a mechanic so we totally trust that this is the van for us. I was uneasy buying through the classifieds.

We currently have an suv that seats 5. We have outgrown it with 3 carseats smashed together. On top of that it needs some work. Since it's been paid off we just didn't feel that we wanted to put anymore money into it but would rather put money towards purchasing something newer and bigger.

I shared my concerns with my dad and asked for his advice in buying something now or waiting a few more months. He shared the same concerns that I had. Size, safety, money... But also going into debt to purchase something else. It's been nice not having any car payments.

We could do it and would have had to. We were fully prepared to do this. To buy a minivan. In a couple months... We couldn't find anything we liked! I ran searches on every model we looked at and they all were scary!

So we were going to wait. My dad calls one day and asked what I thought about my grandparents' van (his parents). We liked it and the mileage was good. No scary report. So we asked how much. He says it's a secret...

That night they surprise us by telling us that they were buying it for us!

WOW!!!!!!

We were/are shocked. We get a free vehicle! No payments! It's safe! And it's big enough for our family!

We are incredibly grateful to my parents for this wonderful gesture. Words just cannot express....

Thankyou! Thankyou for thinking of our family. Our future (financial & physical). And our safety!

Love you!
